theOtaku.com Anime Podcast IV - Ep. 20

Ichigo's kicking ass at the job offers; Batou, less so. As such, Batou and I both probably hate Ichigo. Other than that I can't say too much because I'm about two seconds away from leaving to watch The Dark Knight so I don't have a chance to go through the full podcast summary. I will say, however, that I still contend that Transformers is originally not anime, so the rules for "anime adaptation" don't apply so much.

But great podcast, guys!

Music - ZERO by AAA from World Destruction
